Sounds really positive Charlster. Well done on the job interview – you’ve still got it mate. I’m sure you’ll get the job, and if you don’t you got close and that means you can get close to the next one.
You seem to be in a much better place now, which is awesome. We will all have set backs – today I am in the office with my wife packing stuff up, backing stuff up. I have so many memories of this place, but it is the end of a chapter. It was also 3 weeks ago in here that I last gambled. My urges are lessening, but I will always be on my guard. I do get thoughts sometimes of finding a way to play live poker at a casino, but it would be such a mistake to do that right now. So just for today I will not gamble. Have you found a local GA you can go to?
I’m so glad you’ve come back.
Stick around, use this place as much as you need. I am often on the help line when things get though – this is an amazing site, truly. Join us on the chat in the support groups sometimes and meet everyone.
take care and good luck at the doctors.
Will the help of my higher power this is a new phase in my life. It is not going to be easy, but then nothing worth doing is.
